Is Mouthwash A Must In Trinity?

Many folks in the East Lake, East Lake, and Clearwater area wonder if daily mouthwash should be part of their dental routine. Brushing and flossing are the two habits that have the greatest impact on dental health, so if you’re doing these two things, is mouthwash necessary?

If you’ve ever walked the aisles of any Palm Harbor, Florida drugstore, you know that there are many different types of mouthwash. Some tout their germ-killing abilities, others brag of fluoride content, and some claim to whiten teeth while freshening the breath. These are all great benefits, but will they make or break your dental health?

I’m Dr. Prestige Dentistry of Prestige Dentistry in Palm Harbor. When my dental patients ask about mouthwash, I usually tell them that as long as they follow the directions on the bottle, mouthwash can only benefit dental health, even if it doesn’t live up to every promise as advertised.

For people suffering from bad breath (and the friends, family, and co-workers who are suffering with them) mouthwash can be a very effective breath freshener and can bring relief to everyone in their social circle.

My practice, Prestige Dentistry, is currently accepting new patients. If you are interested in making an appointment, please call us at 727-877-1507. A modern member of our staff can also answer any questions you have about dental implants, veneers, gum contouring, or smile makeovers.
